Chads build

[chad]

I was not going to post this build , because I Lost the before pictures in a computer switch. but what the hell , here goes.

01 Superjet , Waterdawg Kustomz hood , nose piece, and lowered bracket.

the paint was real cool when I got it. color shifting or something like that. but it had some cracks here and there. Superramjet hit it with the sander in a spot and it was over from there.. so i stripped the whole thing down to the gelcoat.

removed the old rickter footholds, all the foam,scupper, exhaust and repaired intake plate bolts while I was in there.

Refoamed with #2 foam from US composites.
and installed built in foot warmers as I was putting the footholds back in.

the tube inside the foothold will be connected to the pisser line during the winter months.

this is the "T" that is under the tray connecting the foothold warmers.

question about 2 part foam. can you dent it with your finger? is it springy at all?

 

[chad]

I decided to fill the nose area with foam , and glass over it

Once it fully cures it has a coating over the outside of it. almost like a candy coating on a M&M. Its not springy.

Ok what ever , I guess you would know , since it was your ski!

but they did not go back in anyway. I installed some custom Chad homemade footholds!

Luke, do you have any pics of the painted hull???

 

[chad]

I filled the bond line with foam , sanded it smooth . ground down the ribs , and reinforced the entire sides with 8oz biaxal cloth.

either all one color , or black below the bond line.
